Penoplasty, or phalloplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure for men who consider the size of their penis to be insufficient or unsatisfactory. It therefore aims to increase the size of the penis in length and/or width (circumference) at rest.
It is generally carried out in order to:
→ Increase penis length
→ Increase penis diameter
→ Harmonize penis size
For Increase penis length, the surgeon can remove a portion of the penis by cutting off the suspensory ligament in the penis that keeps it suspended. Once free, the part of the body of the penis that was buried under the pubis is added to the visible part, which allows you to gain between 1 and 3 centimeters in length.
For Increase penis diameter, the surgeon injects autologous fat, that is to say fat taken from another part of the patient's own body, at the level of the tissues surrounding the corpora cavernosa of the penis (subcutaneously). So it's a lipofilling of the penis
The two procedures can be carried out at the same operative time, so as to harmonize penis size in length and in width. But it is entirely possible to achieve a circumferential increase alone or to lengthen the penis alone.

General. Smoking cessation is necessary for the intervention.
1 to 2 hours.
1 night of hospitalization may be necessary after penis enlargement. On the other hand, the increase in thickness by lipofilling is done on an outpatient basis.
A single inverted V-shaped scar at the root of the penis in case of lengthening (perfectly masked under the pubic hair). No scars for the increase in width (fat injection).
Depends on the type of intervention performed. There is edema and contusions on the penis lasting a few weeks (2 to 3 weeks on average) and some minimal pain.
It is rapid, but it is necessary to stop sexual relations and sports activity for 3 weeks.

For Elongation Of the penis, the patient will be able to benefit from a gain of 1 to 3 centimeters. The result is especially visible at rest, because when the penis is erect, it verticalizes and burrows slightly.
For The increase circumferential : 2 to 4 centimeters of additional circumference, depending on the rate at which the adipocyte graft was taken.

Penoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia.
The operation usually lasts between an hour and an hour and a half, depending on the procedure followed.
The procedures are outpatient, with discharge from the hospital in the hours following the operation.
The results of this operation vary depending on the patient. The intervention allows an improvement at rest; the patient can gain a few centimeters in circumference and/or length, generally 2 to 3 cm.
There is moderate pain and edema. Pain is well managed by the usual painkillers
As with all interventions, there are risks and complications can occur (bleeding, infection, disunity, scarring hazards, neurological disorders, etc.). These are infrequent and can be taken care of quickly by the surgeon during post-operative checks. An information sheet from the French Society of Plastic Surgery will be given to you before the procedure.
My approach is initially to listen to patients in order to determine if their expectations are realistic and achievable and if the risk-benefit ratio is in favor of an intervention.
